Optimization of Passenger Traffic in a Major Transportation Hub

The article presents a model for optimizing the activities of railway transport when organizing passenger transportation in a major transportation hub. When optimizing the calculations determine the number of vehicles that are assigned to the node; optimal rates for transportation; the number of transport units in the directions depending on the random demand for transportation. The possibility of attracting additional transport units in case of insufficiency of their own is taken into account. The model takes into account the influence of competitive transport (road). The solution of this problem in general requires the use of statistical modeling and nonlinear programming.
